After many years of not building anything due to other obligations, I'm finally back into building again. Going through my boxes of parts and spares I found a bunch of these, but I can't remember what it's for or even what it is. The pod body is about 2 inches long so I imagine it's 1/48 or 1/32 scale, but what is it? If anyone can offer some help I'd sure appreciate it.
Cheers,Tom
I have no idea, but first thought was an older radar pod. Sorry I'm not much help on this one.
On the bench:
A lot !! And I mean A LOT!!

I'm fairly certain it's a more modern pod, whatever it is. I'm almost thinking it might be some sort of gun pod.
I can't tell either...
I haven't the foggiest?

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

A "pod body" conjures up the recollections of the film: Invasion of the Body Snatchers" .
But that item actually reminds me of a photo recon pod in two parts.
Did you have a recon aircraft kit?
I've had a look about but can't find anything that seems to match...
My first thought was an early radar pod of some sort -the rounded nose suggests that it's either subsonic, has a round rotating head that hasn't been detailed or is designed for dumping in the sea.
Radar, ECM, PR or air dropped torpedo/mine all come to mind.Good luck!

Only recon aircraft I have is an RF-84 and I'm pretty sure this doesn't go with that. Also, I noticed there is a cover that looks like a fuel filler, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a fuel tank!
Torpedo? It seems a bit short, though. I would say fuel tank.
I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.
Have fun.
For those whom are click impared
Thanks friends, something triggered my memory and I realize what it is now. It's a fuel tank from the SH-2 Seasprite from Cobra Company.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I clicked on the link in the first post. Seem to me it looks exactly like a radar pod of sorts pod that attached to a Super Sea King chopper image - also on that link.

Sure looks like Phil_H nailed it !
Sorry to have been gone for so long.
Here is a trivia question:
According to the book Gunning for the Red Baron, which aircraft was purpose-built to defeat Richthofen's skill with the Fokker Triplane?

“Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”-Henry Ford
"Except in the fundamentals, think and let think"- J. Wesley
"I am impatient with stupidity, my people have learned to live without it"-Klaatu: "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
"All my men believe in God, they are ordered to"-Adolph Hitler
Totally a guess here, but I'll take a stab at the Camel, or possibly the Sopwidth Tri-plane.
It might be a fluxgate magnetometer.
